Since this is Rangers fans West here and since there's a crazy lovae affair for anyone whoever wore a Pens uniform thought I'd ask if anyone saw Gauthier lay Straka out last night a minute into the game. The most devestating hit of the year by far of any Flyer if not the league. I thought maybe Gauthier done that little twirp a favor and might have straigtened out his eyes.

What in the world was Straka doing? I know he decided to 'skate over' the puck alongside the boards, and he was looking back over his left shoulder initially, but wow, once he turned it's almost like he never even realized another skater was there.

He's awful lucky the outcome wasn't worse than it was, looks like he hit the boards square on the shoulder blades before his helmet struck the glass.

Nasty Nasty Nasty. But it's those clean hits that are my favorite part of hockey.
